So, do you disagree with trademark law? (Trick question, I know you do not.)
How then do you disagree with the notion that products should not be
deliberately so similar as to confuse consumers?
That really looks like an iPad to you? Seriously? The trim is ***YELLOW***
plastic or rubberized something-or-other, and the corners are very nearly
square[*], and there is no curve to the rim either, and it looks to me like
there
is no bezel to speak of, so if you were to try to use it while holding it, you'd
have to keep moving your fingers off of what you were trying to read.
Sort of proving the point again--this is way, way, way different than an iPad,
and would come nowhere near, not even in the same ballpark, infringing the
iPad's design patent.
Now, the functional patents that are in play--some of those are actually
interesting topics. But the trade dress issues, boring really--in my opinion
this will (and should) be a slam-dunk win for Apple.
[*]Yeah, this tablet also contradicts the contention that rounded corners are
so obvious that they're functional not decorative. You know, when the points
you're agreeing with start contradicting each other, it's really time to examine
your assumptions. (This is a lesson that SCO was never able to learn...)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
